In 1900, under the pretext of the Boxer Rebellion, the great powers joined forces to invade China, the Eight-Nation Coalition captured Beijing, and Cixi and Guangxu fled in a hurry. They wantonly destroyed during their time in China, and on the ruins of the Old Summer Palace, they staged a barbaric second plunder, and their greed was clearly revealed, and their intention to carve up our Qing Dynasty was obvious.
In desperation in the face of possible subversion of rule and territorial encroachment, the Qing court signed the Treaty of Xinchou on September 7, 1901, which marked a humiliating pact of national sovereignty.
After a hundred years of irrefutable evidence, the imperialist plot against us has never ceased. Today in 2021, led by the United States, nine powerful countries including the United Kingdom and France have once again gathered and threatened to send ** to break into the South China Sea, which is really appalling.
At a time when economic globalization is galloping and the situation in the South China Sea is suddenly tense in the face of malicious interference from the West, how will China, a powerful force, demonstrate its wisdom and determination?
Since Biden took office, his attitude towards China has been significantly tougher and is no longer limited to a single action. Following Trump, he led"Join forces"Frequent challenges, just like the South China Sea version in 2021"Eight-Nation Alliance", step by step.
A group of countries led by the United States is gradually gathering, and tensions over the South China Sea are rising. Although the United States is well aware that China's strength is not what it used to be, it still adopts a strategy of provocation in batches and constantly probes.
It can be said that Biden has an impact on the evolution of the situation in the South China Sea that cannot be ignored.
U.S. hostility toward China did not happen overnight, and its global dominance leaves no room for any potential challenger. At first, China did not attract much attention, but with the rise of China's economy and the significant increase in defense strength and scientific and technological progress, the United States has paid more attention.
Despite China's commitment to peaceful coexistence, there has been speculation and exaggeration of our influence, which has led to a multilateral approach to the United States. Today, the joint operation of nine countries, including the United States and France, although on the surface"Freedom of navigation"In fact, it is holding large-scale military exercises in the South China Sea, and the intention behind it is clearly exposed, and it is obvious that it wants to use this to cling to the United States and curry favor with Washington.
However, this does not mean that all participating countries have deteriorated their relations with China, but more that they are seeking opportunities to maximize their own interests. These actions are tantamount to exposing their true intentions.
Although the United States is ostensibly silent on this matter, it is not difficult for perceptive people to see that the real intention of this coalition operation is precisely to form a strategic encirclement of China in the South China Sea.
To put it bluntly, behind the US dominance, its goal is obviously to exert pressure on China.
According to preliminary estimates,"New Eight-Nation Alliance"The strategic operation appears to be quite large-scale: four carrier battle groups, four nuclear submarines, two cruisers, nine destroyers and five supply ships will be assembled, accompanied by 226 carrier-based warplanes on air patrols.
The lineup seems to be complete, as if it is carefully planned. But what is the truth?Let's dissect the **strength of this so-called coalition army, and at the same time go deeper**, are their actions heroic demonstrations or self-deprecation?
In February last year, the United States took the lead in sending the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier group to break into the South China Sea, and our military responded with practical actions: When they were driving in the Bass Strait, our H-6K bombers simulated an attack, and the J-16 fighters escorted them, and accurately locked on through the fire control radar.
At a distance of 400 kilometers from our army, we simulated a missile launch, a move that attracted global attention and undoubtedly gave a powerful warning to those provocateurs.
Non-U.S. Britain, the U.K., the world's leading military power overseas, has deployed flagship-class aircraft carriers"Queen Elizabeth"with a Type 45 destroyer and a nuclear submarine.
Judging from the lineup sent this time, it is clear that Britain has made a heavy investment. One glance at its naval lineup reveals that this represents almost half of the British Navy's strength.
The glory of the Royal Navy is a thing of the past, with only 2 aircraft carriers, 6 destroyers and 13 frigates left in the current roster. If it is removed"The Prince of Wales"This non-combative aircraft carrier, as well as the almost abandoned Type 45 destroyer, it is obvious that the confrontation between the British Navy and the South China Sea Fleet cannot be matched by the current strength alone.
After all, in the South China Sea of our country, Type 022"Shandong"The majesty of the aircraft carrier is comparable to that of the British class, a behemoth weighing 60,000 tons, and China's advantages are self-evident.
Our carrier-based aircraft lineup is complete, and the J-15's air combat strength is enough to surpass any vertical short take-off and landing F-35B. Moreover, this sea area has gathered countless sophisticated armaments, such as destroyers, nuclear submarines, frigates, etc., both in terms of numbers and technology, the British Royal Navy may be difficult to match.
I really want to know where they got the confidence to be so arrogant in the South China Sea.
The story of the French Navy continues, with the addition of the Mistral class initially rumored to be followed by the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, but the final outcome is still up in the air.
Originally there were high hopes, but after going deeper, the strength of the French Navy did not seem to meet expectations. At present, they only have one 40,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier equipped with two catapults, equipped with Rafale M carrier-based aircraft, and the performance is acceptable.
In addition, France's fleet is relatively homogeneous, with only 2 Horizon destroyers, 3 Aquitaine frigates and 4 Mistral-class amphibious assault ships.
Unfortunately, the rest of the ships are too old to fight.
If France dares to challenge the South China Sea, it seems to have the guts, but it does not know that it is already in a difficult situation. China's South China Sea Fleet's restraint stems from our magnanimity, not weakness.
The Art of War wars warn us that it is taboo to underestimate the enemy, and even if the French navy is not very strong, the South China Sea Fleet remains vigilant. At the Sanya military port, the 075 amphibious assault ship is ready for battle.
In comparison, the French "Mistral" class only has a displacement of 20,000 tons, while the 075 can reach 40,000 tons, which means that the two "Mistral" are not as powerful as one 075.
It is obvious how foolish France would be if it wanted to provoke a war around the South China Sea.
While the United States, the United Kingdom, and France are strong, the military power of other countries is insignificant when viewed globally. Their regular expeditions tend to consist of only one or two frigates or destroyers, a scale of which can hardly pose a substantial threat.
For the South China Sea, which China regards as a strategic location"Sea Fortress", our country is fully prepared. The South China Sea Fleet is waiting for it, and Woody Island is guarded by advanced ** such as Hongqi-9 anti-aircraft missiles and YJ-62 anti-ship missiles.
On the surrounding islands and reefs, we have also built a number of military airfields, equipped with J-11B fighter jets and H-6K bombers. It can be said that the entire South China Sea has been fully included in the scope of our preparations for war, and it should not be underestimated.
Back in 2016, when the US aircraft carrier vainly attempted to invade China's important places in the South China Sea and approached the edge of China's islands and reefs only 12 nautical miles, the Rocket Force's anti-aircraft carrier missiles were ready to defend their airspace.
Under our stern warning, the U.S. side wisely retreated, thus avoiding a potential conflict. Imagine that without warning, the aircraft carrier could not escape the fate of being sunk.
In the face of the temptation of various countries in the South China Sea, although China's South China Sea Fleet is calm and unhurried, the joint efforts of many countries will pose a pressure that cannot be underestimated. Today, the situation in the South China Sea remains tense, the PLA"Big Five"It is indeed an opportune move to assemble in the waters of Zhongjian Island in the Paracel Islands to conduct large-scale joint exercises.
What is even more exciting is that this exercise has come to a successful conclusion, fully demonstrating the strong combat effectiveness and deterrence of our first team.
For a long time, the United States has been eyeing our homeland and under its control"The new quarter-finals league"In a vain attempt to contain China's rise, frequent mobilizations and patrols in the Asia-Pacific region and the South China Sea are obviously aimed at joint blockade.
If we said that in the era of the First Sino-Japanese War a hundred years ago, we were facing a predicament due to the isolation and backwardness of old China, but now, in the 21st century, how can China tolerate being bullied by the coalition forces again?
I don't believe it, and the world can't believe it. Face"New Eight-Nation Alliance"China has responded resolutely to provocations in the South China Sea. In order to protect our sovereignty in the South China Sea, we have carefully planned a rigorous strategic defense, dividing our forces and armaments into three key sections, vowing to defend our dignity in the South China Sea and write a military feat that belongs to the new era.
First of all, the iron wing power in the air, with J-11A fighters and H-6K bombers as the main force, their bombing and combat strength is like a tiger descending from a mountain, which should not be underestimated.
Meet the lineup of the kings of the sea: our sea power is made up of"One shield is multi-functional"The composition includes the advanced 052D destroyer, the high-efficiency 054A frigate, the Type 901 supply ship for strategic support, and the actual combat Titans 071 amphibious dock landing ship (which can carry heavy land combat equipment such as tanks), and the 815A electronic reconnaissance ship to sit on the intelligence front.
The sea power and land penetration capabilities displayed by them during the exercise are eye-catching, and together they weave a magnificent picture of the maritime frontier.
Let's focus on the sharp knife of land power - the ZYZ-96A main battle tank, which is the vanguard of the beachhead. This tank is flexibly adapted to the Type 726A air-cushion landing ship, and its excellent combat performance can be called invincible, providing a decisive guarantee for beach-rushing landing operations.
China's strength today should not be underestimated, armed with cutting-edge science and technology, the army, navy and air force are in concert, just ask the world, what country dares to rashly provoke in the South China Sea, and can still retreat with its whole body?
The likelihood of such a situation is so slim that it is almost negligible. Looking back, we may have faced challenges due to material constraints, but now we have an impregnable defence and abundant resources.
In the face of any threat, the squadron has enough strength to keep the enemy out and ensure that there is no need to worry.
Since ancient times, China has upheld peaceful diplomacy and treated the world with a friendly attitude, but in the face of a few countries with ill intentions, our tolerance is not weakness, but the demeanor of a great power.
Although the scars of history are deep, today's China is not comparable to that of a hundred years ago. Standing on the cusp of the 21st century, we stand even more firmly, and in the face of the South China Sea disputes and global development challenges, we are confident that we will be able to resolve them one by one.
We firmly believe that with the growing strength of the motherland, the sanctity of China's territory and sovereignty brooks no violation. Let us look forward to China standing on the world stage with a more confident attitude.
